+Version 2.8.0 beta1
+-------------------
+
+*(unreleased)*
+
+- The minimum Python version needed to run Ganeti is now 2.6.
+- The :doc:`Remote API <rapi>` daemon now supports a command line flag
+  to always require authentication, ``--require-authentication``. It can
+  be specified in ``$sysconfdir/default/ganeti``.
+- A new cluster attribute 'enabled_disk_templates' is introduced. It will
+  be used to manage the disk templates to be used by instances in the cluster.
+  Initially, it will be set to a list that includes plain, drbd, if they were
+  enabled by specifying a volume group name, and file and sharedfile, if those
+  were enabled at configure time. Additionally, it will include all disk
+  templates that are currently used by instances. The order of disk templates
+  will be based on Ganeti's history of supporting them. In the future, the
+  first entry of the list will be used as a default disk template on instance
+  creation.
+- ``cfgupgrade`` now supports a ``--downgrade`` option to bring the
+  configuration back to the previous stable version.
